325I going into limp mode (auto) when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. Put the car on jack stands and it shifts thru all gears no problem, no limp, no codes. Opinions please.
I would start by checking the transmission fluid level first. If not the issue read the codes. It can be a lot of problems so without reading the codes we are all guessing. You can read the codes yourself and so more troubleshooting yourself. Check out this guide, especially the section on how to troubleshoot BMW transmission.
Be advised that BMW sourced automatic transmissions from GM of and ZF of Germany. They are different transmissions. The GM box uses Dexron3 fluid while the ZF box uses something more exciting. The fluid pan on the GM box has smooth sides, while the sides of the ZF fluid pan are ribbed. Go to E46Fanatics to read the sticky on the correct fluids for both transmissions. Have the transmission computer (EGS) scanned with the proper software.
This is the code p782
efs-gs8604 2-3 shift malfunction
trans is a zf
Did you check the fluud level while the car was on hack stands? Have the fluid and filter been changed?
